A busload of about 50 migrants were kidnapped by a gang in northern Mexico in the latest of a series of mass abductions, though some already have been freed, Mexico's president said Wednesday.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said National Guard troops were searching for the migrants in an area around the northern city of Matehuala, and that some have already been found alive. The migrants had been travelling north toward the U.S. border in a bus from the southern state of Chiapas, when the vehicle, passengers and drivers were abducted.
